Simple Safer Boating

Purpose of Boating Safety Blog

The purpose of this BLOG is to put information about boats and safe boating practices, boating safety classes and activities in one place. It is also intended to show just how frequently accidents occur on boats, canoes, kayaks, and rafts, and by posting the reports, show the necessity to practice safe boating. All of the accidents shown here were preventable.

Remember, alcohol and boats don't mix. Wearing a PFD can save your life. Practice safe boating at all times.

Comments on the subject of boats and boating are welcome. Please do not place ads or links to commercial web sites in the comments. They will be deleted.

I do not write these reports and have no control over their content. I simply collect the reports and post them in one place. If you think a story is not correct you need to contact the news service that created it.
